Chapter VIII
Zhou Rui closed his eyes, as if nothing had happened, as if the shadow had never appeared, as if that person had never left any trace in his heart, he sat on the stone bed and meditated and vomited, and a quiet night quietly passed by his hand.
The next morning, before dawn, Zhou Rui sorted out the clothes and accessories on his body, and after everything was ready, Zhou Rui came to the main hall of the Spirit Cult, where he saw Yuxiao again. Yu Xiao told Zhou Rui that he would announce in front of all the disciples and all the guests in front of the disciples of the whole sect at today's disciple competition that he would become a disciple of the Spirit Venerable and obtain the permanent right to use the Cloud Mist Mansion, but there was one thing that Zhou Rui needed to pay attention to, Zhou Rui was young and had little qualifications, and he was afraid that many people would be dissatisfied with becoming a disciple of Zijin.
"You have to solve this matter perfectly without me interfering, so that you can gain the respect of other people, otherwise you have been slapping Shizun in the face for a long time, which shows that Shizun is not a meritocracy, and it also proves that Shizun is looking at the wrong person. Yuxiao instructed Zhou Rui, and at the same time asked Zhou Rui to be mentally prepared.
Zhou Rui remembered Yuxiao's words, and when the first light of the sky was shining, Zhou Rui came out of the main hall, and the competition site was already crowded. At this time, Mo Chu came to Zhou Rui's side and said to Zhou Rui: "The sect leader is not worried about you alone, let me take a look," said Mo Chu pointed to several white-haired old men on the main throne and introduced to Zhou Rui, "This is the Great Elder, this is the Hou Steward, this is the ......." Zhou Rui wrote down the identities of those people one by one.
Dabi only started at noon, Zhou Rui and Mo Chu were bored wandering around the square, maybe because they were the disciples of the spirit cult, so there are many people from other sects in today's spirit cult, these disciples of the outer sect who can come to watch either have a strong position of strength or are the best among the sects, they are not only here to watch the game, but also to exchange mental methods, supernatural powers, exchange magic weapons, pills, the whole square is extremely noisy for a while.
When the sun climbed overhead, the originally noisy square suddenly quieted down, and the spirit cult leader Yu Xiao came, and Yu Xiao stood still in the middle of the rostrum and announced: "First of all, I want to thank all the Taoist friends for coming to my Spirit Cult to watch the Great Competition of my disciples, and then I am here to announce that Zhou Rui has become the only Zijin disciple of my sect and has obtained the permanent right to use the Cloud Mist Mansion. As soon as Yuxiao's words came out, all kinds of discussions in the audience were endless, and Zhou Rui was young, low in cultivation, and shallow in seniority, so naturally many people were not convinced.
Zhou Rui suddenly became the focus of attention with Yuxiao's words, and people looked at it one after another, envious and adored in these eyes, but more disdain and ridicule. Most people are questioning why Zhou Rui can become a Zijin disciple, maybe Zhou Rui doesn't know the meaning of Cloud Mist Mansion, but many people in the audience know that the master of Cloud Mist Mansion is the head of Zijin disciples at the time, and the next Spirit Venerable.
Zhou Rui knew that the following ridicule was the first test he faced, Zhou Rui calmed down, his thinking became clear, and he said to those who made disdainful voices: "Senior brothers, I know that the entry time is short, my current cultivation is also very low, and there are many people who are not convinced by my living in Cloud Mansion, but this low cultivation represents only now, with my talent, my cultivation will definitely progress by leaps and bounds in the future period of time, and I will use my actions to prove it in the future period of time." Zhou Rui's words in this paragraph are full of emotion.
"Senior Brother Zhou Rui, I know that you can be selected by His Holiness as a disciple and live in the Cloud Mist Mansion, there must be something outstanding about you, and you can become a person that His Holiness fancies, I believe that Senior Brother Zhou Rui's talent must not be bad, but the level of a person's achievements is not necessarily determined by talent. ”
"That's right, Senior Brother Zhou Rui and the other senior brothers are all disciples of Shizun, presumably their qualifications are not necessarily any better, right?
"Senior Brother Zhou Rui, please show me how much you are better than the other senior brothers?"
Voices like this are endless, Zhou Rui's face was a little pale in the face of these words, he is still a child after all, how can he deal with the cunning people here. The man's words were also very insidious, Zhou Rui didn't prove it, then what he, the purple gold disciple, had done would have water, but if he did, then he was arrogant and arrogant, thinking that he had surpassed all the disciples sitting there and could arouse the anger of the people at once.
Zhou Rui said to the audience in a little panic: "When I first entered the Spirit Cult, my cultivation was only about five layers of condensation, but now I have built a foundation, and I have comprehended the Nine Heavens Immortal Gang. When Zhou Rui was a little frightened, the people in the audience had quieted down for a moment with Zhou Rui's words, and several people on the rostrum also opened their eyes suddenly.
"Little junior brother, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense when you dilute it," the second senior brother Chu Tiankuo, sitting on the rostrum, spoke to Zhou Rui in his slightly feminine voice and said, "'Nine Heavens Immortal Gang' is a magical power that countless ancestors of the Spirit Cult have failed to comprehend for many years, although you are my junior brother, but on some issues of principle, I can't condone you today. ”
Zhou Rui's face was even paler, everyone seemed to be targeting him today, Zhou Rui was completely confused, he didn't know what to say or do, at this moment, the golden light on his chest flashed faintly, Zhou Rui's whole person's breath seemed to be different, and a majestic aura of a person who had been in a high position for a long time burst out.
